Cell to Demonstrate Thin-Walled Packaging Application

Netstal will produce 44-oz. stadium cups with in-mold labeling (IML) on a hybrid Elion 3200, demonstrating its expertise in thin-walled packaging. In addition to the Nestal machine, the manufacturing cell will include a mold made by Glaroform and an IML robot made by Beck Automation.

The company uses thin-wall centering, which involves rheological flow paths and varying melt pressure levels, to ensure concentricity between the mold (the outer contour of the cup) and the core (the inner contour) for optimum product quality.
